Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price resigned Friday in the face of multiple investigations into his use of private charter and military jets to travel around the country at taxpayer expense.
A statement released by the White House Friday afternoon said that Price had "offered his resignation earlier today and the president accepted."
President Trump had said multiple times this week that he was "not happy" about the optics of Price's travel.

Three other cabinet officials
Three other cabinet officials also took Lear Jets to work.
Betsy DeVos (Education) has been paying for her private jet travel all along. The others, not so much ..... they are just gazillionaires who would never think to take a commercial flight
